About This Home
As of June 2023A Classic Doylestown Boro property you don’t want to miss! A true center hall Colonial built in 1929, the home has a charming Oscar Martin feel with a comfortable and flowing floor plan.

Upon entering the vestibule, you’ll observe the quiet elegance of the home, the gracious room sizes, and abundance of natural light.
The main floor offers a living room with a stunning wood-burning fireplace depicting the story of the Arkansas Traveler; the last tile installation done by the renowned Henry Mercer. Just off the living room through original French doors is a cozy office, surrounded by windows with built-in bookshelves below and an original Mercer tile mosaic. The dining room is Thanksgiving spacious, with original built-in corner cupboards, chair rails and a quaint French pocket door leading to the family room. The Superior Woodcraft gourmet kitchen features a large center island with stools, abundant cabinetry, granite counters, and a farm sink with large windows overlooking the backyard. Wolf appliances include a 6-burner gas stove, 2 convection ovens (one steam), with warming drawers below. A Miele dishwasher and Subzero refrigerator complete the appliance package. There’s plenty of storage, including a butler's pantry ideally located between the kitchen and living room for ease of entertaining. The family room and eat-in area just off the kitchen are surrounded by windows with built-in bookshelves below. A gas Mercer tile fireplace and coffered ceiling makes the adjoining den/TV area cozy. A back enclosed porch/mud room leads to a fabulous backyard entertaining area and a detached garage. The retro half bath is original to the house. A tucked-away screened porch provides a delightful covered outdoor space to relax and take in the gardens.
The second floor has a primary bedroom showcasing a beautiful built-in bureau, all tile en suite bath with whirlpool tub, shower, two sinks, a dressing area and walk-in closet. A second bedroom has a lovely and versatile sitting room surrounded by windows and built-in bookshelves, which could serve as an office, yoga/exercise room, playroom, or just a place to relax.
